Flori, Denise E.

Journal of Marital and Family Therapy, v15 n3 p289-97 Jul 1989

Assessed frequency with which journals "Family Process" and "Journal of Marital and Family Therapy" focused on problems of aging in family context from 1976-1985. Found neither journal covered later life family issues to any appreciable degree. Concludes that elders in marital and family relationships constitute new frontier for extension and elaboration of family therapy. (Author/ABL)
